Number explosion birthday cake

  • Posted on June 21, 2009 at 9:39 pm

A stunning cake suitable for any age.  This is for a fishing, snooker and darts mad Grandad, but I could feature any of your interests, to make it really special for you or your loved one.  I can offer a larger single number, or as here with 2 (or maybe 3 mumbers?!)

I have added the number on top of a cake to ensure that every one has a generous piece and more when they come back for seconds!  The numbers were made from vanilla sponge and the cake from carrot cake, so everyone was happy – yum.

A super pretty and delicate two tier birthday cake.  It is delicious Madagascan vanilla sponge with extra strawberry jam and vanilla butter cream, coated with fondant icing and finished with exquisite hand painted butterflies, hand piped antennae and pink polka dots.

I have added a hand piped embellished message, a pearlescent  sheeen and cake sparkles for added light.

Olivia, the pretty sugar baby was modeled from photos provided by her lucky parents and made to charm.

This is a two tier Christening cake, with plenty to feed the guests of around 100 people.   Each tier was made a different flavour, so everyone was happy, but could be offered as a single tier for a smaller gathering.

The quilt was designed to be delicate and subtle, pretty and young, each quilt is made exclusively for your cake with you in mind, every one is different.

Shopaholic Birthday Cake

  • Posted on June 6, 2009 at 12:36 am

This is a bold and bright birthday cake for a lady who likes to shop.  Each item of clothing, bag and boot has been hand cut, hand painted and carefully added to the cake with little piped and painted silver hangers.

The sugar handbag on the top has a silk effect grain and is painted for shimmer and shine.  Both the handbag and the plaque can be kept for many years in a cool dry place.

I can vary the scheme on this cake to a particular colour or theme and offer it in both brights and pastels, or a mixture if you prefer.

The inspiration for this cake was Mr J’s wife, created as a fairy in her usual clothes, transformed for her special cake.  I added a pretty sugar plaque, falling ribbons and hand piped designs to make this cake as special as possible for a memorable birthday.

Roller skates birthday cake

This is a really flashy cake for a roller skating fan.  It is full of sparkles and simply gleams in the sunlight.  The wheels are shiny and so are the silver flashes against the boot.   I can model in any colour and offer all the flavours to delight your friends.

My customer was delighted with her cake and said it was so much better than she had ever expected it to be in her imagination.

Wellington Boots birthday cake

  • Posted on June 6, 2009 at 12:17 am

What a fun cake!  I made these boots and lead for a keen dog walker, modeled on her favourite pair and the lead she takes with her every day.  The plaque had a paw print on it as if the dog had just run across it and there were sugar leaves left here and there in his wake.

One boot was a chocolate cake and one a vanilla sponge, keeping everyone happy.  This is a large cake and will feed around 100 people.

Of course, I would be happy to make your cake to match your boots, just send me a photo and its that easy.

Ballet shoes birthday cake

A pretty cake for a ballet dancing princess.  All five feet positions are there, shown in pretty sugar ballet shoes with royal icing ribbons.

You can vary the colour and the message, such a pretty cake.  If you like, it can be made larger for a bigger gathering, yet still retain its magical quality.
